Our programs offer opportunities for people with physical disabilities including, but not limited to: amputations, paraplegia, quadriplegia, birth defects, cerebral palsy, head injuries, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, strokes and visual impairments.

Our knowledgeable and experienced team is a known resource to therapists, rehabilitation hospitals, parks and recreation departments and peer organizations.
